[OBIT] Terry Pratchett

#1
So, one of my heroes died today:

"The world has lost one of its brightest, sharpest minds," said Larry Finlay of his publishing company, Transworld.

Best known for the Discworld series, Sir Terry wrote more than 70 books over his lengthy career.

He was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2007, but continued writing, completing his final book last summer.

The author died at home "with his cat sleeping on his bed, surrounded by his family," Mr Finlay said.

Not exactly unexpected, but Jesus Christ, it still hurts like hell. Rest in peace, Sir Terry, you were one of the best ones.
